It's been 12 days since I suffered the injury to my right hamstring. With 4 runs in the last 6 days I can safely say I feel back to full fitness. I even attempted to run at full speed today up to Newcastle Race Course and back. I really feared the worst last week but yet again it looks like I've proved to be a quick healer.
